GOOGLE LENS QR CODE READER HOW TO
A QR Code placed on product packaging can deliver a video on how to use or assemble the product properly. For example, a QR Code on a drink can can direct consumers to a list of ingredients or give them the ability to order more. QR Codes are great because of their ability to correctly and on demand deliver contextually specific content. Did you see one pop up on the TV screen during the Macy’s Day Parade? How about the Super Bowl? If you haven’t noticed them around, just start looking. If you haven’t noticed, QR Codes are popping up just about everywhere and are quickly becoming a part of everyday life. That brings me to one feature of Google Lens that I think is really great its ability to read QR Codes. With the incredible rate of technological advances we’ve witnessed over the last 10 years, it seems we are becoming a bit jaded and just don’t like to wait or be pointed in the wrong direction.
GOOGLE LENS QR CODE READER MOVIE
When I pointed at a can of Polar Seltzer water, Lens returned the trailer for an upcoming Netflix movie named “Polar.” These discrepancies were a bit surprising and if the premise and general functionality of the app wasn’t so mind blowing, they would have been annoying. For example, when I pointed my camera at the steering wheel of my car, the results identified the brand correctly but offered me information on a different model. When I pointed it at a single serve bottle of a little known brand of liquid pain reliever that I got in a bag of gifts from a local charity swim last year, it came back with the exact item. When I pointed at the business card of our local cheese shop, a single location, family retailer, Lens picked it up immediately and pointed me to their website. I have easily spent hours pointing my camera at things to marvel at the results. The very fact that Google Lens identifies just about any object you point your cell phone camera at and then delivers content about that object is pretty remarkable, and just a little bit scary if you stop to think about it.What makes Google Lens so great, and bodes well for its broad adoption is that it is fun, bordering on addicting.

Google Lens is an awesome example of an app that employs artificial intelligence for the benefit of a wide consumer audience.
